Digital Bandwidth Interleaving Explained - Technical Brief

From LeCroy Corporation
 

 

The empirical and eponymous Moore's Law1 claims that transistor density doubles every 18 months. Since transistor speed is roughly proportional to linear density, it implies that transistor speeds double every three years. Since the oscilloscope, while undergoing many changes during its long history, is still the primary tool used in the development of electronic instruments, Moore's law dictates that the available oscilloscope bandwidth must also double every three years in order to keep pace.
